Team Radeon has comments from ATI about
the recent spate of DOOM 3 benchmarking (story), pointing out the
game is not yet available, taking a stab at NVIDIA's precision (in spite of
their own "fudging" being questioned by Carmack during the testing), and saying
they should have new drivers "available in the coming weeks." There is also a
raging Rage3D
Discussion on the possibility of an ATI DOOM 3 bundle, supported by some
blurry camera phone shots of the associated promotional materials. This rumor is
one of those they run through their magic 8-ball in
the latest
GameSpot Rumor Control/(Mongering) column.

as there exists no automatic device in the nVidia driver to *turn the fudging off,* and as such it will result in *degraded image quality*, unlike for the ATi Catalysts which turn it OFF automatically under conditions where the optimization is likely to cause IQ degradation

Actually, since the last 2 NVIDIA driver releases, there has been automatic shutoff for certain cases, as well as a way to permanently shut it off, ATi still offers no way to completely turn it off(I think? Maybe the last drivers added that?).
